Nothing in that post provides any evidence that CTR was astroturfing/sockpuppeting at all, it's all about campaign finance law (and from a quick once-over nothing about the law would keep it from applying the same way regardless of whether or not CTR was using verified accounts or astroturfing).
Meanwhile their campaign finance disclosures are publicly available. They had a small, professional, salaried, and clearly identified staff running clearly[1] labeled[2] accounts, not an army of thousands of anonymous sockpuppets the way subs like S4P characterize them.
